Product Description
The Bosch Fuel Pressure Regulator 1634149380 is specifically designed for diesel engines with 1.4 HDI and 1.6 HDI capacity, commonly found in Citroën and Peugeot models. This essential component regulates fuel pressure within the fuel system, ensuring the engine receives the correct amount of fuel for efficient combustion and optimal performance.
Function and Importance
The fuel pressure regulator stabilizes the pressure delivered by the fuel pump to the common rail or injectors. Proper regulation prevents fuel pressure fluctuations that could cause engine misfires, poor fuel economy, or increased emissions. Without a fully functioning regulator, engine performance can decrease, and fuel system components may suffer premature wear.
Common Applications and Replacement
This regulator fits a range of Citroën and Peugeot vehicles equipped with 1.4 HDI and 1.6 HDI diesel engines, including popular models such as the Citroën C3, C4, and the Peugeot 207 and 308. The part number 1634149380 is frequently referenced by mechanics and DIY enthusiasts searching for a reliable replacement.
Replacing the fuel pressure regulator typically involves relieving fuel system pressure, disconnecting the fuel lines, and detaching the component from its mounting. It is advisable to check for any signs of fuel leakage, erratic engine behavior, or error codes related to fuel pressure regulation as indicators for replacement.
Durability and Maintenance
Fuel pressure regulators can fail due to wear, clogged fuel passages, or damaged diaphragms within the unit. Regular inspection alongside fuel filter replacements can help prolong fuel system health. On average, this part may need replacement every 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers, depending on driving conditions and maintenance frequency.
